Although the Kindle Fire retails for almost $50 less than the Nook Tablet, Barnes and Noble's latest gizmo offers users more convenience and practicality with a longer battery life and a slightly lighter weight.

The Nook Tablet also comes with preloaded apps from Netflix, while The Kindle Fire offers users one month free access to Amazon Prime.

Some critics are weary of Amazon Prime suggesting its live streaming abilities may be limiting.

Others suggest the Nook Tablet is relatively similar to the Kindle Fire, questioning whether it’s worthy of the $50 premium.

The Kindle Fire is set to be released Nov. 15, and although a number of consumers are likely to purchase it over the new Nook Tablet, many are tipping the Nook as a consumer favorite.
